Ant-Man Teaser Trailer

Trending News: Marvel's Full-Length Trailer For Ant-Man Is Here!

Why Is This Important?

We have a lot of faith in Marvel but Paul Rudd riding a wasp might be pushing it.

Long Story Short

After releasing a teaser trailer for Ant-Man on Friday morning in a minuscule form, which is probably more suitable for insect eyes than human, Marvel released a full-sized teaser to ease the watching and re-watching experience for all us humans.

UPDATE: Marvel showed off the first full-length (and full-sized) trailer for Ant-Man during the premiere of Agent Carter.

Long Story

Having the ability to get super strong after shrinking down in scale is probably not at the top of the list in terms of what superhero power most people would say they’d want, but hey, don’t underestimate the little guy.

For the teaser trailer to the upcoming superhero movie flick Ant-Man starring Paul Rudd, Marvel cleverly played up (or down) the size of the latest comic book character to get a movie and released the teaser in a really small form. You can watch that here:

Eyes hurting? Yeah, mine too. But thankfully Marvel addressed our collective squints and released the trailer in full human-sized form.

In the trailer we get a look at Rudd as Scott Lang, a thief who, if they are sticking to the comic books, steals to pay for his daughter’s medical expenses.

The teaser also has a few fights, a couple fine-looking ladies including Evangeline Lilly from and a look at bad guy Darren Cross who is played by Corey Stoll from House of Cards. I’m still chilled about his character in HoC so he’s bound to be good in Ant-Man.

If you’re looking for Michael Douglas who’ll play scientist Hank Pym or John Slattery (Roger Sterling from Mad Men) who’ll play Iron Man’s dad Howard Stark save your eyesight (if you’re committed to watching the small version, that is) and wait until Tuesday. That’s when the first full trailer will be released. At 8 p.m. E.S.T. to be exact.

As for when to expect Ant-Man, it’s currently slated for a July 17, 2015 release.

Ask The Big Question: Is Ant-Man a good superhero choice for a new Marvel franchise?

Disrupt Your Feed: Was releasing the ant-sized trailer a dumb idea in the first place?

Drop This Fact:Ant-Man will probably do well even though many are skeptical of the choice to make a franchise for this character, after all, it’ll be a summer Marvel movie. But Ant-Man would have to be spectacular to gross as much as Marvel’s best movie at the box office, The Avengers, which grossed over a billion dollars.
